Summary of the SCI practical lesson given by prof. K. Bruyninckx of the physiotherapeutic practice course. It is a summary of the powerpoint slides and additional items noted during the lesson. The slides were in English and my own notes are always in Dutch as much as possible. It is therefore a mix of the 2 languages because it is an English-language master. Everything is in dots, so no complete paragraphs

Phys. Practice: SCI
STATION 1 – JOINT MOBILITY AND MUSCLE LENGTH

1. COMPLICATIONS – CONTRACTURES
 6 Causes
- Immobilization
- Not using full ROM
- Muscle imbalance
- Posture
- Spasticity
- Pain
 Try to predict !

2. IMMOBILISATION
 Which muscles will have the tendency to shorten?
- iliopsoas m. hamstrings m. gastrocnemius


3. NOT USING FULL ROM
 Not enough strength to counteract gravity
 What muscles do you need to reach above your head?
- RC,
- biceps,
- deltoideus,
- serratus anterior
- triceps brachi??
 At what root are they innervated?
- C5-C6
- C4: deltoideus
 Door niet te kunnen reiken boven hoofd= ROM verliezen in schouder
- Schouder is niet het probleem maar elleboog wel
- Boven hoofd reiken is vaak niet functioneel meer

4. MUSCLE IMBALANCE
 Find 3 pairs of agonist/antagonists innervated by different myotomes
- Biceps (C5) vs triceps (C7)
- DF (C6) vs PF (C7)
- Pronation (C6) vs supinaton (C5 – biceps)
- Deltoideus (C5-6) vs latissimus dorsi (C6-8)
- Flexor carpi ulnaris vs extensor capri ulnaris
- Flexor carpi ulnaris vs flexor carpi radialis

 Can you predict problems depending on lesion height?
- Indien ene spier wel werken en andere niet
- Eccentrische functie gaat weg àcontrole wat weg
 Vb geen BB meer en elleboog strekken= arm gaat
gewoon naar extensie vallen
- Ene spier gaat verkorten
 Can you deduct the lesion height from this picture?
- C6; passive DF (ze hangt in haar pols gewricht)
- C5 is nog wel goed -> biceps
- Tenodese greep gebruiken à C5-6
 Pols DF niet geweten
 Passief in DF en supinatie
 What happens when she is lying down in bed?What position will her arms be in?

- Not using full ROM
 Even less ROM will be used
- Muscle imbalance
 Will increase
- Spasticity / tone
 There will be an increase
- Posture
 Antalgic posture

7. TREATMENT
 How can you minimize the need for daily physiotherapy?
- Multidisciplinary therapy
- Self exercises and mobilisations
- Zelf mobilisatie & stretching
